Ah yeah, if only they had someone to fill those spots.

Well thanks to you and @brunamoura I now have six quotas to fill :p  (which is fine because combing through useless amounts of data is something we all know I love :yes) I think there will end up being about 20 too many biathlon quotas for the YOG this time around.

Which they don't (at least not yet) ?

They wanted Rhaick to go for biathlon, this way they could send one more guy (someone else for cross country). But he didn't accept. I am not sure if he "fits" by his age, but that's what they were talking about.

I don't know exactly how it works (I am mostly waiting for the new rules from FIS for the Olympics ?). So, what happen with the "non-used" quotes? Are they giving to other athletes by a ranking or just like with IBU in the Olympics they are wasted?

For Biathlon: His birthday makes him eligible (at least according to his FIS profile). There’s no real other requirements he’d need to meet. I bet he just would prefer cross country because he‘ll place better there

For Cross Country: He has currently given Brazil a second quota on the men’s side :thumbup:. He just needs to maintain his position in the ranking until December 9.

No, for the YOG the IBU doesn’t have that unfortunate rule. They way it works for the YOG is:

1. The top 10 nations in the 2018/2019 World Cup ranking get 4 boys quotas and 4 girls quotas

2. A combined ranking was made for the other nations. The best 20 nations on that ranking get 3 boys quotas and 3 girls quotas (so by your performance in the IBU Cup, you actually earned Brazil YOG quotas :p)

For the regular qualification that’s it.

 

Now, if quotas get a rejected it works like this:

The next nation in that combined ranking (31, then 32, then 33, and so on) get 1 spot for each gender (assuming that both genders still have openings).

 

As it is right now, I know 6 girls spots and 5 boys spots need to be reallocated. So 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 would get 1 boy and 1 girl, and 36 would get 1 girl.

 

However, the IBU didn’t publish that combined ranking, so I don’t have any clue what countries would get the spots.

Yep ? which probably will happen if he doesn't have DNS of DNF in São Carlos (as I said, probably his last FIS races before the deadline)

Bonfim has 2,033 more qualification points the person who’d knock him out of a quota :yes. In fact, the Brazilian boys are ranked quite high right now. 10 and 26 respectively.

It's so painful to be an old lady :cry:

But Iam happy to know my results were enough to earn quotes. It's just a shame we can't use them.

 

That's a fair system. At least more athletes will have an opportunity. It's a shame the same doesn't work for the Olympics.

Thanks for the explanation! ☺️

    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on
